Timpview High School Guide: Bell Times, Calendar, Boundaries and What Parents Ask

Timpview High School sits on the east bench of Provo, below the mouth of Rock Canyon, and it is the bigger of the city's two comprehensive high schools. It had 2,246 students in the state's October 2025 count, a graduation rate of 94.1% for the Class of 2025, and a campus in the middle of a rebuild that voters started funding in 2020.

This guide covers what families ask most: when the bell rings, which neighborhoods attend, how the 2026-27 calendar runs, what the school offers beyond the basic classes, where to park, and how to enroll. The schedule, parking and program details are from Timpview's own website, read Nov. 13, 2026. The enrollment and graduation numbers are from the Utah State Board of Education, and the boundaries from the map Provo City School District's boundary locator uses.

Quick facts

Who attends: the boundary

Timpview draws from the east and north side of Provo. Its attendance area covers about 17.5 square miles, roughly 39% of the city's land, while Provo High takes central and west Provo.

The feeder pattern is simple, which is not true of every school in the county:

• Middle school: all of Centennial Middle School feeds Timpview.
• Elementary schools: every address in the Canyon Crest, Edgemont, Provo Peaks, Provost, Rock Canyon, Spring Creek and Wasatch elementary areas.

Because the boundary reaches down toward campus, it also takes in a long list of apartment complexes near BYU, from King Henry and Centennial to CollegePlace and the Granary. That matters for married students with teenagers and for families renting near campus. Our Timpview attendance-area page lists every complex and city share, worked out from the district's own map.

Two cautions. Provo's boundaries are drawn by the district, not by street names, and two houses on the same block can be in different areas, so check any address with the district's boundary locator before you buy or sign a lease. And because Provo is its own district, the Alpine School District split in 2027 doesn't change anything at Timpview. Our guide to school boundaries in Utah Valley explains how lines are drawn across the county.

The bell schedule

Timpview runs an A/B block schedule: students take eight classes, four on A days and four on B days, alternating through the year. The school publishes a separate A/B calendar so students know which day is which.

The regular day, as listed on the school's calendar page:

The school also lists a Thursday homeroom version that trims each class to 82 minutes; the day still ends at 2:15 p.m. On Fridays teachers meet in professional learning groups in the afternoon. The school also posts assembly and late-start versions of the schedule; its late-start table had a typo when we read it, so check with the office before relying on those times.

The 2026-27 calendar

These dates are from Timpview's school calendar, which follows the Provo district calendar:

The calendar we read didn't list a graduation date; the school usually announces it in the spring. Our Utah County school calendars guide puts Provo's dates beside Alpine's and Nebo's, which helps families with kids in more than one district.

Size, students and graduation

At 2,246 students, Timpview is the largest school in Provo City School District and the seventh-largest district high school in Utah County, according to the state's Oct. 1, 2025 count. Unlike the Alpine and Nebo high schools, which start in 10th grade, Timpview enrolls a full ninth grade, so its four classes are close in size:

The same state data shows about 25% of students are Hispanic and about 63% white, about one in four is economically disadvantaged, and 242 are English learners.

For the Class of 2025, Timpview's four-year graduation rate was 94.1%, with a dropout rate of 3.6%, from the state's cohort report. That compares with 91.1% at Provo High and 89.8% statewide. Our graduation rates guide has every Utah County high school side by side, and the enrollment guide explains why Provo's district has been shrinking.

A graduation rate is one number, not a ranking. Schools with more low-income students and English learners face harder odds, and comparing schools fairly means looking at who they serve. The most useful thing a parent can do is visit and ask about the specific program their child wants.

Beyond regular classes

One of Timpview's published school goals is that every student completes an "advanced experience" before graduation. The school lists the ways to do it:

• AP classes, taught at Timpview, with college credit for a passing exam score.
• Concurrent enrollment (CE) and distance education, college classes for high school credit. The counseling center has a dedicated concurrent enrollment coordinator.
• A career and technical education (CTE) pathway, a sequence of courses in one field. The rebuilt wing that opened in 2025 added expanded CTE classrooms.
• CAPS, the district's program where students work on real projects with local businesses.
• Internships, arranged through a CTE work-based learning coordinator.
• MTech, Mountainland Technical College, for certificate programs during high school.
• An IEP transition plan, for students in special education.

The counseling center also handles scholarships, a college and career center, transcript requests, an online course catalog and resources for undocumented students. If you're comparing schools, ask which AP courses run each year and which CE classes are taught on campus versus online, because those lists change with staffing.

Sports and activities

Timpview plays in 5A Region 7 for the 2025-27 seasons, under the Utah High School Activities Association's alignment. Its region opponents are Maple Mountain, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Salem Hills, Spanish Fork and Springville, a south-county region. In football the lineup changes slightly: Orem joins and Salem Hills drops to 4A.

The athletics page lists these sports:

• Fall: cross country, football, boys golf, girls soccer, girls tennis, girls volleyball
• Winter: boys and girls basketball, competitive cheer, swim, boys and girls wrestling
• Spring: baseball, girls golf, boys and girls lacrosse, boys soccer, softball, boys tennis, track and field, boys volleyball, unified track

When we read the school's site in November 2026, its home page was celebrating a boys golf state championship. Tickets for games and performances sell through GoFan, linked from the athletics and performing arts pages. Swim meets are held off campus at pools including the Provo Recreation Center, and the state track meet is at BYU in May. Our high school football guide and sports calendar cover the season across the county.

Performing arts at Timpview include dance, ballroom, theater, orchestra, choir and band, each with its own page on the school's site. The rebuilt wing added new dance rooms.

The rebuild

Timpview is in the middle of a long construction project. Provo voters approved an $80 million bond in 2020 to rebuild parts of the campus, which the district said had aging buildings, outdated safety codes and seismic concerns, according to the Daily Herald.

The first big piece, a rebuilt commons wing, opened Feb. 21, 2025. It added a "Learning Staircase," expanded CTE classrooms, dance rooms, a new wrestling room and 250 more parking spaces. That same month, the school board unanimously approved $70 million in lease revenue bonds, mostly to finish the job. The cafeteria needs a full remodel, and the board said it wanted the project done within about four years.

For families, the practical effect is that parts of the campus are fenced off. The school asks everyone to stay out of the construction areas on the south and west sides and warns that traffic patterns may change as work moves.

Parking, drop-off and visiting

From the school's parking page:

• Student parking: the north lot by the North Classroom Building, and the south lot along Timpview Drive near the athletic fields. Students may park only in student areas, not faculty spaces. The page doesn't list permit prices; ask the main office.
• Morning drop-off: the parent drop-off area along Timpview Drive.
• Afternoon pick-up: along Timpview Drive, south of the main entrance. Pull forward as far as you can, and have your student ready.
• Buses: the loop on the north side by East Quail Valley Drive. Don't park or wait there at arrival or dismissal.
• Visitors use the main entrance by the Great Hall, sign in at the front office and wear a green visitor sticker.

The main office, counseling center, athletics and attendance offices are open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the financial office closes at 2:30 p.m. Doors are usually locked from 3 to 4 p.m. and reopen for evening events, which can run past 10 p.m.

Enrolling a new student

1. Confirm your boundary with Provo City School District's boundary locator.
2. Register online. Timpview's home page links "Register New Student" to the district's student information system.
3. Gather documents: proof of residence, birth certificate, immunization records, and any transcripts or IEP from a previous school.
4. Meet a counselor to build a schedule. The school's "Find your counselor" page lists who works with which students.

Timpview isn't the only option inside the district. Independence High serves Provo students who need an alternative path to a diploma, with smaller classes and a different schedule, and the district's eSchool offers online courses that students can take alongside a regular Timpview schedule or instead of it. Independence had 288 students in the state's October 2025 count. A Timpview counselor can explain how a transfer or a mixed schedule works.

Families who live outside the boundary can ask for a seat through Utah's open enrollment process, and Provo uses open enrollment heavily. Apply early, because popular schools and programs fill first. Our Provo City School District guide covers open enrollment, fees and the district's falling enrollment in more detail, and the moving to Provo guide covers the rest of the move.

What parents ask

Is Timpview better than Provo High? The two serve different parts of the city and different student populations, and published rankings mostly reflect that. Timpview's graduation rate was 3 points higher in 2025, and Provo High serves more English learners and low-income students. Visit both if you can choose.

Does Timpview have ninth grade? Yes. Provo's high schools serve grades 9 to 12, while most of Utah County starts high school in 10th grade.

Where do students eat lunch during construction? Lunch runs on the regular schedule, but the cafeteria is one of the areas scheduled for a full remodel, so ask the school how lunch is set up the year your student starts.

Who runs the school day to day? The school's administration page lists the principal and assistant principals, and the school community council publishes its members and minutes. Every Utah school has a council of parents and staff that decides how to spend the school's LAND Trust money, and seats are often open.
